I don’t doubt that White Shoes & The Couples Company are the best indie-pop band in Indonesia simply because I can’t name any others. This band of art school students does (however) serve up a big dose of retro-inspired indie-pop that is breezy, playful, and full of all sorts of gently fluttering instrumentation. They remind me a little of what I’d imagine Stereolab would sound like performing Peter & The Wolf in a bossa-nova style. White Shoes & The Couples Company has a self-titled album out now in the US on Minty Fresh.
